Dosbox:Increase no of buffers

0

I am trying to use DOSBox to run a 16-bit DOS program in 64-bit Windows. It requires a buffer value of 99 in order to run. DOSBox's initially sets the buffer to 50. How can I change this setting to 99? I have searched everywhere but all the information I find says to recompile DOSBox but I am unable to find what to do after that. I have the open source files of dosbox but cant find buffer parameter and its value.

Just create a new text file in the root of your mounted C-drive and name it as CONFIG.SYS

BUFFERS=99

Means the c drive i mount should have a config.sys file having buffers value? – Varun – 2015-08-10T04:54:55.217

Dosbox doesnt use config.sys as far i have researched. – Varun – 2015-08-10T05:26:53.253

Though DOSBox Wiki mentions it replaces most of what config.sys they don't actually say it isn't used. Did you try a config.sys file with the defined line?

@Varun Yes, the C drive within DOSBox should have a config.sys. You should try it anyway. – cybernard – 2015-08-10T12:09:45.653
